Once again, I cannot judge the validity of the diagram but I think that it is useless to add the notions of "before" and "after" which are very particular and which would harm the understanding of the general message path. For me, this diagram should strike a good balance between accuracy and clarit...

Great job Stam!
I propose a small graphic correction, for greater readability:

I do not have sufficient knowledge to correct the validity of the information in this diagram but if it is correct, I suggest using the color code from the previous diagrams (notably yellow for optional elements). And if it is correct, this diagram should appear on the official LC help, replacing th...

I found a more accurate diagram (but I don't know if the earth and the sky are rightly placed )

Zax. You should inform Jacque that the "direction" of that diagram is upside down. She will appreciate the news.

Is she a Diana Ross fan?

However we have a "opencontrol" message, but that is only sent to GROUPS. But maybe you can use this somehow by just grouping one or more of your controls. :) Great! Thanks a lot Klaus, it's just perfect :D This picture, found at https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4603/l/565724-the-livecode-message-pat...

Hello, When a card is opened, it receives the "openCard" message. Is it possible that different controls of this card also automatically receive the "openCard" message when opening this card? Of course, I could send "openCard" to the desired controls by "send" or "dispatch" but I don't know which co...

For those who like a challenge, here is one of my most difficult games. I won it in 213 moves, but it's probably possible to do better - you just have to find the right path.

To load this game, launch the application and use the File -> Load menu.

Thank you Jacqueline for these explanations. Is there a reason you need it? I suppose not. Normally, the cantDelete of my stacks is false but when a stack has a variable number of cards and the user can easily delete cards, I feared that the user would delete all the cards and therefore delete the s...

Maybe you could make a stack that loads with LC as a palette that has a scrolling list of all open stacks and a button to delete a selected stack.

Yes, I have that. It is precisely for my development palette that I needed this kind of script.

After several tests, the following script to close and remove a target stack from memory seems to work. It has to be called from another stack (otherwise, use the File menu article Close and Remove from Memory ). The delete stack command works very cleanly: the main stack and its substacks are close...

I think I found a clue: if the main stack to be closed has its cantDelete property set to true, the delete stack command gets stuck.
Is this a bug due to the double meaning of delete stack?

Where is the handler that deletes the stack?

In another stack (a real other main stack).

I wrote a new script based on delete stack . The "delete stack" command works very cleanly: the main stack and its substacks are closed, the script editor is updated but, in some cases, I get the following error: execution error at line n/a (Object: stack locked, or object's script is executing) nea...

Thank you for all your answers :) It's unfortunate that MC chose such a confusing term for removing a stack from memory. Right. I guess it cames from "delete variable" that remove a variable from memory. Anyhow, thanks, I didn't know this use of the "delete" command. @ Bernd : awesome script! Though...
